If you want to still reuse your RAM, respond by saying so, and I'll recommend another Socket 939 Solution

I'm a little confused, I would have to switch RAM to use the TP45HP Biostar or Biostar I45 motherboard? If so, what would you recommend for 2gb?

I don't have a huge budget. I just need to replace the motherboard and CPU to get this computer working again because apparently the problem is a harline fracture or motherboard failure from short. The PC store couldn't tell if it was the processor or motherboard that was bad.

You would get more performance for your money if you went with a new intel or amd system and 2gb of DDR2 vs getting another 939 setup to save your current ram.

How much are you willing to spend?

Holy crap.. I forgot about this RAM

Yeh new standard is DDR2 ram, which is not compatible with DDR. But its soooo cheap these days just get the ram mentioned above - it will be much better anyway because its faster and its twice as much as you have now.

You do not need to buy a whole new computer, however, if you feel the need too, ask us first because we can get you the best for your money (Dell cant!! lol).
